• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

This gets me down

Feel free to post whatever gets you down, too. But I will go first:

I have a "friend" who is a very nice lady and helpful and funny.

I feel bad that I feel left empty after she only talks all about herself all the time and tells me I am very strong because I say little about my problems to her. Thus she feels I can take everything she has to say and there is so much of it I can't handle it.

I love to help people but this is nonstop on her part. She will not seek therapy and I feel for her but am getting irritated with her and I even told her I need to have some mental health days and be alone. I am not strong. I am suffering with my own problems right now. I don't feel that I should keep talking about my problems and rather act happy and strong even though I need help and need to seek it and am trying. It is just that after talking to my case manager and a few others I don't keep telling one person my problems over and over. I know some people really need to do this and it works for them and it is a good thing if the person also prays for willingness to change or wants to change.

So I end up looking strong and cold without feelings. The truth is that I am so sensitive that I can't handle other people's problems right now. I have a pervert bothering me who is trying to break me down, trying to use me as a prostitute and have sex with him. I made the mistake to keep a friendship with him but last night I left a message on his answering machine and told him he will not break my will, I will never sleep with him and that we are not a couple and much more. I have other problems too but I have said enough for now.

Please forgive me if I offended anyone but this is not intended to offend. I am just getting this all off my chest. I need prayers and help. Thank you for hearing me if you have read all of this. God bless you.
